Five Records set by Cristiano Ronaldo with Portugal you didn't know about

#3 Most Hattricks

Portugal v Spain: Group B - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

Figo has one, Nuno Gomes has two and Pauleta has three. However, Cristiano Ronaldo leaves them all behind when it comes to hat-tricks with the national team. The Portuguese scored his first hat-trick for his country in September 2013, in a 4-2 win over Northern Ireland in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Qualifications. Three months later in November 2013, he had done it again, this time against Sweden, in a pulsating 3-2 win.

Ronaldo's next hattrick came against Armenia in June 2015, in a 3-2 win in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. A year later in October 2016, the Portuguese scored his fourth hattrick with his national side against Andorra in 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying. He scored four goals as Portuguese won the game 6-0.

His fifth hat-trick with Portugal was against Faroe Islands in a 5-1 win in 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifications. Last year, in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Main Tournament, Ronaldo scored his sixth Hattrick for Portugal against Spain, in a fascinating 3-3 draw in the opening match of the tournament.

As of now, Ronaldo has 6 hattricks with Portugal, a record that won't be broken anytime soon.
